Hello,
i am using google voice recognition very often - I am loving it. The problem is that i need to talk very loud in order to get the voice recognized by the app.
Is there a way to increase the volume/sensitivity of the microphone?

If you ever tried to do a recording, you'd notice that the quality is awful.
Google Voice probaly has more issues getting a clear enough sound rather than a loud enough sound.
Our phone isn't exactly known for it's senses, poor camera, speaker and mic

Agreed about terrible audio quality in Froyo.
But wait till you hear the quality in Gingerbread for the DHD.. it's like a new phone.
I know that the microphone quality in general is not good.
But that's not my problem. If you use Google voice recognition you have a kind of signal strength meter (don't know the english word for it) that shows you the input level measured by the application.
My observation is that sometime I have to shout in order to get recognized and sometimes it's enough to speak with normal voice.
The question is: Is there a way to change the microphone level or sensitivity?

The microphone volume is very low on my dhd, people can barely hear me when I call them. The sound is also low when I use a voice recording app. When I plug in an external mic the sound is fine though.
I've been looking for a solution for this for a while, does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm running MIUI 1.5.20, but I had issues when I was using the stock ROM.
Yes i have this problem, often people complain they can't hear me any good.
However if i turn the phone with backside towards me they can hear fine so i guess it's a design fault that they place the microphone at the back, why?
Did anything ever come of this? It's just that I am experiencing the exact same issue

Hi,
Quick question about the way this device records sound. Its by far the best phone ive ever used to record sound, however i keep running into a problem with volume levels. It never stays constant and fluctuates depending on whether the sound is loud or quiet.
Now that wont make sense at first so heres a link to a video i shot in the studio with some friends.

Note at around 2:20 in the volume changes quite dramatically. I assure you, in real life the volume of the sound was constant throughout the song, the only change was that both guitars had stopped playing, thus decreasing the decibel level slightly (the guitar sounds at that point were from the effects pedals), which surely wouldve made it quieter if anything
I dont believe this a manufacturing defect as ive had it on the past 4 HOX's i owned, but perhaps more to do the way the sound is processed. It is the same result recording in mono/stereo/720/1080 etc.
EDIT Just remembered, i had to turn my speakers up all the way to hear that properly so the recording level is far too quiet as it is. I can barely hear it through the phones speaker.
Yeah got same problem,
I did turn the stereo off in video options which did improve it. Give it a go and turn the Stereo feature off.
The sound was not dropping as much,
I tested this out at a footy match.

Thats a temporary fix i suppose, it did improve it though it didnt fix it for me.
Does anybody know if this is something that is likely to be resolved by a software update? Or can anybody recommend any apps to record this type of thing with if it is a software issue.
Hello z1c owners.
Have you guys experienced low mic volume problem during call? The other end of call keep complain about my voice not clear. After turn off noises suppression, things got better, but still sounds like the mic is coverd with something, not crystal clear. I used skvalex call recorder recorded calls from my z1c and a moto x for comparison. Moto X is loud and clear, but z1c is lower and muffled.
Is that normal or I bought defected phone? Is there any solutions for this problem.

Have exactly the same problem only when I use the speakerphone for calls. I am very interested in possible solutions.
I have another observation to report. I use smart voice recorder from the playstore to record conversations. There is a setting inside this app which lets you choose between microphone's auto gain control and manual gain control (calibrate). Auto gain gives me awful very low volume audio. On the other hand when I calibrate the mic the volume is in the perfect level.

I had the same problem on mine, the volume was so low that the other people could't hear what I said at all. Then the little grid covering the mic and the speaker detached and now the problem is gone (waterproofing is gone too I guess), the holes on the grid are tiny and they got obstructed by dirt.
Hey guys!
The outgoing voice quality, so the quality the person you call hears, is really bad with my P6. It sounds very tinny and distorted even when I have full connection...do some of you noticed that as well? Is there maybe a way to increase the quality?
I´m using the Hyd52Rom and the standard Dialer App.
Thanks

I think it might have to do with your phone service provider, I don't think my phone has the same issue.

I think this can´t be the reason because with my old phone (HTC One S) I had no problems at all. The quality is really bad though...
SOLVED
Although nobody else seems to have the same problem, I found a solution for it:
Just deinstall the VIPER equalizer by opening it, klicking on options and klick on deinstall driver.
That solved the bad voice quality.
Now the called people hear my voice very loud and clear.
Hello team,
Sorry if the translation is bad, I use a translator: sneaky:
I have a problem with my 10 + rating (SM-N975F / DS). When I make a call with the speakerphone activated (hands free) my interlocutor hears me very badly if the phone is not sticking to my mouth. Looks like the noise reduction is not working well.
I've done tests with the voice recorder and are perfect, even at 2 meters from the phone. Unfortunately you can't turn off the noise reduction on this phone.
If you have an idea ...
Thank you
I have the same problem when I use a different language on my phone. What talk to text app are you using? Samsung's? Have you tried using a different one? Say Google?
